Cordless impact wrenches
Has anyone ever used a cordless impact wrench to work on their car, remove and fasten lug nuts from their rims, and so on? I was thinking about picking this one up

It says it can handle up to 300 ft-lbs of torque, which should be enough for most things, including lug nuts. I dont have room for a compressor in my garage, or really want to deal with air hoses and all that crap. So I figured a cordless wrench would be the way to go.

I know people that use them at autocross, but haven't paid attention to brands.
You can also get a 110v corded electric impact for a lot lower price if that would work for you.

That Dewalt should work great, mine is a Snapon rated a far less then that and i'm super happy with it. Just remember that there are limitations to it. Like when trying to remove a bolt that a mechanic installed using his 600ft lb air wrench on Hi setting
